Hoarders

**Clarifying my too early in the morning typing**

The psychological issues and whether it is a disease has still been debated by some because there are different types of collecting (collectors) that may or may not be hoarding. The more blatant and extreme forms of hoarding are more easily categorized.

There are some psychologists and psychiatrists who do not deal specificially with hoarding but will deal with what are considered by some to be the underlying issues. Generally, whether or not that addresses and eventually stops the hoarding (if it is truly an addiction, you are never cured) depends on the hoarder.
